same thing here. I've already done the small town college thing. not going down that road again. i need something different this time around, especially if i want to grow as a writer.
no waitlist for poetry? any idea why that would be? perhaps there weren't many spots to begin with? hmm. I didn't even consider applying for the longest time because of the trouble it took (sending out a paper manuscript when I was living in Europe for the time being) the application fee, and the small possibility of acceptance. But I'm happy for those who did get in! #1 program!
HEY IF YOU GOT ACCEPTED TO U OF ARIZONA POETRY & ARENT GOING PLEASE TELL THEM. I've been waitlisted and I wanna go so badly.
Congrats to all on all acceptances
Hi everyone, I've been staring at my phone and email for days at a time. Someone please say something that will make me feel less anxious. Please and thank you.
I got into Temple too. It's not a big program...hopefully the funding is abundant (though I've heard otherwise). I've been told it's a very artistic city. One of my favorite poets, CA Conrad, lives there so I'm totally in if they show me the $$$$$.
I'm not losing hope yet! Ugh, I don't even know if I am willing to put myself through this stress again next year. Plus I'll need to spend another $1,000+ dollars on fees. What do you guys think---settle for a backup school or wait it out for a year and apply again to your dream school? It's a tough one.
Just got official word that University of Arizona Tucson has not made decisions on poetry yet--if that matters to anyone.
And yeah, I've been seeing some Iowa's and UMASS Amherst's popping up and it's making me insane
Poetry applicant here. So far accepted into Temple and rejected by WUSTL. I'm going to die if I don't hear from U of Alabama like, TODAY! I work at a tax office and all I do is refresh my email all day.
